he immediately said we agree with israel's right to defend itself. israel's real enemy is iran. they were at the u.n. holding up his bomb chart. he was talking about iran. that is israel's overriding threat. they have been able to deal with them handedly. i have seen yesterday israeli warships able to take out a single hamas militant who was sitting in a chair by the water front. so one warship fired a rocket. you could barely ship on the horizon. israel has been telephoning the houses of neighbors of militants and telling them to get out. it has their phone numbers. so there's something suspicious. israel has too much intelligence. they have been able to deal with them too confidently. you have to wonder is there really a different objective. >> could it be better for israel to get rid of the missile sites in hamas before they attack iran? therefore, they can't be used for retaliation? >> reporter: that's an extra bonus. you get to defend your own cities. you figure out how well the iron dome system works, which is an untested system. you set back hamas's capabilities. you test

now, israel responded, we just spoke with the military spokesperson from israel, who said, look, we are readying ourselves. we have not determined whether or not we are going to start a ground war as well. we do know, though, that there have been targeted air strikes, more than 30 of them, throughout this evening, and we also are hearing that there is fire coming from israeli ships that are in the mediterranean off of gaza. >> and, sara, not to minimize the rocket attacks into israel, but why have the israelis reacted to strongly to this particular series of strikes? >> reporter: well, it is in their estimation that they haven't been acting strongly. it is their estimation that after getting 100 plus rockets coming into southern israel and targeting specifically civilians, they're saying, look, we're returning fire but doing it in a very targeted, specific way, looking for specific targets and, by the way, al jabbary was specifically targeted. we just got that information from the military spokesperson. he was specifically targeted because israel believes he is a terrorist responsible f

launch a ground war and they have proven they can stand up to israel and they are claiming that israel and the world negotiated because of their rockets attacks not despite them and they achieved the promise of the blockade of gaza. and contrast that with the leadership of their rival party, led by palestinian president who preach add nonviolent approach to negotiations with israel, in the eyes of many palestinians, that has achieved little. that could be perception rather than reality but perception sometimes is reality there and powerful israeli voices agree. the former chief of the israeli defense forces, now a political rival of binyamin netanyahu, says the goals of hiation were not reached and the next round is only a matter of time. we should not have stopped at this stage. hamas got stronger and we did not gain deterrent. prime minister binyamin netanyahu would say his goal immediately was to stop rocket attacks and he did that and wait and see. >>gregg: are there historical parallels here? >>jonathan: if you accept the premise, as many middle east experts do, that what has has
